Our fiscal sponsor is Software Freedom Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to the promotion and development of free and open source software. Conservancy allows us to work without managing our own corporate structure and administrative services. Our relationship with Conservancy goes beyond logistics, though, as we are also philosophically aligned as we work to advance software freedom and expand the Python developer community.
